Hello everyone! I was wondering if there aws any way to repair a stuck liquid soap dispenser?
Mine has been working fine for the last 5 yrs and suddenly it refuses to release any more soap! I tried to take it apart and clean it, and a small metal ball fell out as well as a "stopper" for the top of the straw that looked like it was designed to keep the soap flowing. I tried to repair it, but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks

Suggestion? They are cheap...get a new one. It isn't worth your time to try and repair it even if you could which i'm not sure you can :)

Nowdays you can usually find a soap dispenser for $10 or a little more at hardware stores.

As we should all be rethinking the old throw away habits of a wasteful generation, I too want to know how a soap dispenser can be cleared or repaired. I have purchased 2 in the last 2 months, and it's wasteful to keep buying, and just throwing away the dispensor. Plus, they weren't cheap. All different soaps seem to clog suddenly. Someone must know how to remove dried soap from the stem...Any smart/enlightened person out there??
